The Robin Hood with Maid Marian statue, on Edwinstowe High Street, was sculpted by Neal Andrew in 1998, and funded by Nottinghamshire County Council. The two figures are “kneeling” to greet each other, holding hands. Has Robin just proposed? Did he hand her the flowers she is carrying?
It’s an excellent piece of work, the two characters dressed in appropriately simple clothing. Sadly, it was badly damaged when hit by a vehicle in 2020. Although it was restored, I see that today (November 2024) the hands are missing, and so the figures no longer touch. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. For more Robin Hood Statues see list on sidebar.
